I always thought it would be a wacky Calliope like friend. Which would work? The bible didn't ever sound that great to me. I think you could make Marlena a lead on a different show, but why would you? She was already the lead on the mothership. It seemed weird to give her a random love interest as well. I can understand the underlying thought of moving Marlena to an entirely different place with baby Belle when her own life fell apart. It just seems redundant. Why take your main star off the main show. It seems strictly vanity to keep Deidre happy.

Lol at Sonny telling Nina to apologize immediately to Carly.. After midnight. After her mom just died. Shut it Sonny. Carly actually has bigger problems today. Carly will probably weaponize this later, but Sonny just stop. Gosh I hate Willow, but I would not be opposed to her just throwing Michael off the dock today.

I think flashbacks of Sarah would be great. Appearing? Still on the fence on that. It's hard for me to say since JZ passed not just the character so everyone should be able to pay their respects.

Ugh...I hate myself for typing this, but I think LW is doing great. She's really doing a realistic job. I would go against SJB/TB appearing because it's gimmicky. I didn't like the 3 Carly appearance years ago, so I could be off on this.

Lovely tribute. Why doesn't Lucas have Lucky's phone number? The show goes out of it's way to shade Lucky as a deadbeat.

I remember him being the guy that shot Sonny in the Amazing Grace montage and thought that was pretty extra for a fringe character. He had no business being involved lol. I also remember him being good with Genie. She just left so abruptly it's hard to say.

Makes sense. I don't think Jensen was the fire charisma ball JFP thought she was either. You can try to fly her in on helicopters on a dying soap, but not at GH. I also think A. Martinez struggles in roles that aren't Cruz. I don't hate Guza for putting JFP in the closet. Excited for today's show. You didn't like it? I have to wait on Hulu.

I would love to find more out about it. It seems like it was bungled from the start with the lawsuit and everything. JB and AM were big names at the time so there had to be a more solid idea. Or they were just names they could get and figure it out later which they didn't lol!

Melissa was just an absolute mess of character. The idea was never fleshed out well at all. Not everyone is Vanessa Marcil. MB can't expect lightning in a bottle every time he's paired with a short brunette. I think he tanked some, but I also think it's lore to put non-chemistry pairings of his as "tanking". That's just making chemistry-less pairings look intentional when I don't think that's the case. He's probably had upwards of 20 love interests and was successful with 3 or 4 (I am giving him OG Kate and Alexis)? That's a him problem. People like KMc, Steve Burton, and Becky Herbst have oozed chemistry with all their love interests.

I think Bobbie was just going to be written off because "no one wants to see old people have sex". I don't think I ever heard about her dying. JFP wanted to ruin Carly after SJB. I think we are "lucky" Angel was a flop and MB stood up for her. I honestly can't tell you if keeping Carly was good in the long run, but I am glad she was kept at the time.

Lol! Idk I have seen a lot of MB pairings fail spectacularly. I remember all this too. I wish I could find what I read, but Carly was supposed to have a tragic death. MB ain't wrong for hating the Angel story.

Idk, I would just let Ali appear when she can. At this point I think a recast would be a mistake. RC for Carly? Can't see that. I think she's a bit too old. I believe you are correct about TB being temporary and to be killed off though. I remember reading SODs saying TB was a temp. I am trying to picture GT and MB as a couple. Maybe?

I agreed about not fully loving MW because I don't know her work well enough. Her GH stuff is so out of control to me. But I think I just prefer a different type of actress. MW earns her paycheck, just not my thing Gina Tognoni is fine. I only saw her stuff on OLTL (which I thought was bland) and a little of GL. Again, not the full context of work so I can't judge thoroughly. I am just joking honestly. If GT was cast as anything other than Brenda I would be fine with it. Hard no, Donna! Sami? I just...........no.

I actually think not seeing MW in other shows hurts us. I never watched ATWT and I do think we miss some context on an icon role. Listen, she's pretty and seems good at the acting thing. I just would never put her up for numerous roles. I don't think I'd dislike her. I just have always missed the charm other people see. I only like about 10 characters currently on GH so my taste level is just probably way off though.

So much love for this woman! She's fine. I just don't get it.

Ugh. Why do you guys like Gina Tognoni so much? She's an acceptable Sarah Webber though.

😀 That is an excellent description! I just find her so over the top and selling to the cheap seats! You go, Maura! It's just not my thing at all. And I am going to have to @Liberty City tell me how many roles Gina Tognoni can play because of this...🤣

Honestly, I have never liked Ava and I assumed I was missing something with Maura West. I probably am, but I think she overacts and Ava is a caricature of a human. I'll run away and hide now🤣

I don't think it was me, but it's possible.🤣

Was that her outlandish potential friend? Lol

I think you are the only one brave enough to cut Ava.......and I don't disagree. I think she's run her course, but she has so many fans I feel stupid suggesting it.

There's a lot of talk about this on the board. @Paul Ravengave you the right thread. Carrie would have joined Marlena and I think there was talk of a new Trump like love interest for Marlena or possibly bringing Wayne back. It's been a long time since I looked at it. I think Anna and Jen might have been mentioned in the potential pilot as well. Sami and Eric were already aged at this point. John would have just continued on with Kristen.

Yeah, very fair point. I was thinking NLG would be on top of an adult woman like Kelly having poor behavior. And not that HP is a child, but I can see her being more lenient of someone she's know since she was a kid. Not defending Haley at all, but NLG was real quick to call the non-mandators out on social media. Anyhow, hope it's not true about Kemo. I already hate her Sam anyway lol.

Got it. I was reading it as Steve did something to Kelly-not that she was the issue. Don't you think NLG would have blasted Kelly for that though?

Eww..that seems pretty on brand for him. What happened with Monaco?
